Satoshi SOMEYA

Born in Tokyo in 1983, Having spent his early childhood in Indonesia, he developed an interest in decorations while visiting ruins with his parents. As he deepened his interest in the concepts of "play" and "decoration" within Japanese culture, he began to focus on lacquer, a material that developed only in limited areas of Japan and Asia. He creates works and conducts research broadly from the perspectives of "painting," "decorating," and "reading" in relation to lacquer decoration. He views decoration not merely as an aesthetic expression but as something that weaves stories and serves as a means to "read" the background. Through the decorative use of lacquer, he attempts to uncover the rich histories embedded within objects or to prompt others to read and interpret these backgrounds.
